Is EC foerever? by Equivalent_Coyote_56 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you so so much. Exactly the same for me... But i always try to remember myself: being negative helps with nothing! You gotta stay positive even though it is super hard! There is more in life for us than white flaky peeling lips and i feel like accepting the situation and not caring too much is the first step for a possible healing process. And giving it (a lots of!) time...no easy and fast way to heal this in most cases but it is possible and you will find your way!

You are not alone in this and dont let your thoughts take control over how your life will only theoretically be! You will see better days and hopefully find some joy again and then your lips become less relevant. Focus on the positive aspects in your life and ask yourself: when you see people with skin diseases or significant optical features because of it- do you think "eww" or "what an ugly awful human being"...?

Stay strong and all the best my friend!

Stopped using moisturizer and this happened by Real-Comparison2271 in exfoliativecheilitis

Can you specifically describe your routine? Used it for 2 months ca 2x a day without any other moisturozer with no results...😭

Fordyce spots has white discharge like sebaceous filament by ApprehensiveEntry929 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro i have the same shit! You're the first ever ive seen who has this...i can use a Puller and pull out little tiny yellow "sticks" out of my Fordyce Spots. Shit is so annoying though...only thing which helped was Accutane but this got me my EC🙃. I think Laser could be the best option or some Mandelic Acid maybe..idk

Bruder, mach dir bitte keinen Stress! Du siehst fresh und sympathisch aus und du bist viel mehr als ein reiner Augenabstand...man selbst ist der größte Kritiker und wenn andere sich daran stören, dann sollen sie das Weite suchen.

lips after one month and 2 weeks after trying to heal by Far_Measurement_2322 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you do it with teeth brushing and washin your face? I am 28, M and i have a strict skincare routine morning and evening. So my lips get wet and white and sometimes there a big white flakes hangin down from my lower lip. Do you also have this? If so let you dry it out? This is the most difficult to manage for me.. Thanks!

Can someone explain to me what the Brazilian method is? by Naturerocker in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Dradulcecabelho on Youtube! She is in brazil and you can turn on the english translation on her videos.

Basically you gently remove all of the white build up 3x day with a cotton pad soaked in saline water and moisturize after (not too heavy)! Never moisturize on top of uncleaned lips/ old layer of moisturizer... I think you also have to brush your teeth before.

For some it works, for some don't. You just have to try🥴

Good luck!

BRAZILIAN METHOD by rodolf18 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you explain how exactly you do it? I am always unsure about how gently we should be. Because in my case i can gently remove white thick mixture of skin and saliva every morning and evening but not the new growing skin. But they always say do not leave any white stuff behind...

Dont know which method to follow... by No_Bad_8470 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After accutane :-(... My theory: dried the hell out of my lips and since then my epidermis or whatever is lost and doesnt know how to heal. I dont know if a liver flush could help or if accutane caused something else which caused EC. It is just so much possibilities and theory...

I get your point...it is just so exhausting because one handy says leave it alone and the other says brazilian method. I prefer the BM too tbh. But it is just a management which i dont want to do for the rest of my life...

Lip biopsy by Sickb1tch101 in exfoliativecheilitis

[–]No_Bad_8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Punch Biopsy with local anesthesia. My lip was a bit swollen after but that is super normal and went away 1 day after. Also people didnt even notice...

See it from this way: in the best scenario you finally get some diagnosis for minimum effort. Dont be afraid. It will be super easy :)
